How to choose the «ideal seat» on an airplane

Business class seats are comfortable and spacious, but not available to all travelers<\/em><\/p>

Researchers conducted a large survey to identify this «ideal seat». According to www.airlife.ua<\/a>, during the experiment several thousand air passengers from forty-six countries were interviewed. The most attractive turned out to be seat 6A. There is also a «least favorite» seat – for some reason nobody likes seat 31E.<\/p>

When choosing your seat on the plane (if, of course, there is such an opportunity), you need to consider some nuances. Of course, sitting in the front part of the plane is best: noise from the engines is least bothersome here. After landing, passengers in the nose section leave the cabin faster, which is important for international flights when long queues form for passport control. Also, if a meal is provided during the flight, travelers in the front part of the plane have an advantage. They can choose their dish from the menu offered. For passengers in the tail section, there is usually no choice left.<\/p>

For those planning to sleep during the flight, it is best to book a window seat. Seatmates will not disturb the sleeper with their movements in the cabin.<\/p>

However, some passengers prefer aisle seats. These are people who know that during the flight they will need to go to the toilet at least once. And to avoid disturbing their neighbors, they book the necessary seat in advance. Another advantage of such seats is that you can stretch your legs into the aisle. This will be convenient for tall passengers.<\/p>
